Poll: Would you be willing to make donations to AT if a fund was set up?

[StageLeft]

<< The internet was designed for the free distribution of ideas. I am willing to put up with advertising in order to participate in a free internet. I won't subscribe or donate to any site.

For every person who subscribes to a web site it brings us closer to a "pay per view" internet. Pretty soon, every site you visit is going to deduct 5 cents for every link you click on.

Isn't it bad enough, already, that most of us pay $50/month for DSL/cable access? >>

You have a very strange outlook. The internet was designed to maintain communication in a post-war situation. In our economy you have to pay for things. You really think that anandtech and other sites like it should continue to give free content with no feedback? They need to fund themselves. If advertisements don't work people like us have to fund them of they go away. When the .com bomb hit we all woke up, don't you see that sites need money to exist?

all forums should be free... If it needs donations to stay alive it is too bloated
